Friends of mine in various countries with adult diagnoses of ADHD have mentioned it has affected a whole bunch of things.

Driving permissions and insurances are a common one, but also: suddenly being deemed medically unfit to do various other things such as possess and use firearms, scuba dive, fly aircraft, etc.

What strikes me as absurd about all this is that they always had ADHD, but once they got it diagnosed and started managing it, they are deemed unfit to do a load of shit.
